Evarena is a modification of the video game Unreal Tournament 2004 which is inspired by the universe of the Japanese manga Neon Genesis Evangelion. I realized the Evarena demo with the help of 4 of my friends during the 3rd year of my multimedia bachelor’s degree at the l’Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue. The creation of the demo was our synthesis project which completed our degree. For more information about Evarena, you may consult the official website:

I have successfully completed more than ten game character modelling contracts for various game companies around the world. I worked among other for Canadian, American, French, German and even Israeli companies. My greatest contract was during the 2004 summer, when I worked for the Robert Lepage company ExMachina. During 2 months I had the mandate to create a realistic environment as well as a character and his dog, I’ve been able to complete my work with one whole week in advance over the initial schedule.


The Virtual Elegant Universe


Contract for ExMachina: 3D models inspired by the American author and scientific Brian Greene and his novel The Elegant Universe (What compose the sub-atomic particles and the Super-String theory).
